Language and Society


Book Description

Language and Society is a broad introduction to the interaction of language and society, intended for undergraduate students majoring in any academic discipline. The book discusses the complex socio-political roles played by large, dominant languages around the world and how the growth of major national and official languages is threatening the continued existence of smaller, minority languages. As individuals adopt new ways of speaking, many languages are disappearing, others are evolving into hybrid languages with distinctive new forms, and even long-established languages are experiencing significant change, with young speakers creating novel expressions and innovative pronunciations. Making use of a wide range of case studies selected from the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa, Andrew Simpson describes and explains key factors causing language variation and change which relate to societal structures and the expression of group and personal identity. The volume also examines how speakers' knowledge of language acts as an important force controlling access to education, advances in employment and the development of social status. Additional topics discussed in the volume focus on the global growth of English, gendered patterns of language use, and the influence of language on perception.

Now a corporate executive, he looks back on how he reached here and contrasts his growing up years to that of his son, without being judgmental. The journey of growing up and discovery is filled with humour and emotions. It explores a young boy's desire for recognition, little triumphs, occasional fumbles, involvement of family in defining professional goals, chasing of those goals, compromised choices, and constant struggle with self-doubt and indecision.
